You think i'm broken? Fix me.

Meredith Grey. General fellow at Seattle Grace Mercy West. Wife to Derek Shepherd. Mother of Zola Grey- Shepherd. Person to Cristina Yang. Sister to Lexie Grey. “We all think we’re going to be great and we feel a little bit robbed when our expectations aren’t met. But sometimes our expectations sell us short. Sometimes the expected simply pales in comparison to the unexpected. You got to wonder why we cling to our expectations, because the expected is just what keeps us steady. Standing. Still. The expected’s just the beginning. The unexpected is what changes our lives.”

I think it's about time I went back to work.

[rebccafergusn-deactivated202112]

Hmm, either way the kid would look good. Maybe he or she is having a nice relaxing day. Stop being pessimistic.

[doctormeredithshep]

True, and either way Zo's going to be happy. I guess that could be why. I can't help it. I get pessimistic when I dont drink coffee.

[rebccafergusn-deactivated202112]

I think it's about time I went back to work.

[rebccafergusn-deactivated202112]

It could be a girl. But you’ll find out soon enough and then you can picture your son or daughter with the shepherd hair. Maybe even the eyes. Meredith, your baby isn’t dead.

[doctormeredithshep]

It better have the Shepherd hair. Oh, the eyes would be good too. It could be. It hasnt kicked me yet today, and it's possible with my luck and hostile uterus.

[rebccafergusn-deactivated202112]

I think it's about time I went back to work.

[rebccafergusn-deactivated202112]

It has been four months.

You did? Huh. Your son would be graced with fabulous hair if he inherited the Shepherd mop.

[doctormeredithshep]

Yeah, I did. I think we all did. He definitely would, if it's even a boy. Could be a girl. Who knows, maybe it's dead already. It hasn't kicked me yet today, anyways.

[feistydavina-deactivated2014062]

It's a slow day.

But at least it will give me some time to get this research done.

[doctormeredithshep]

Research?

[badassneurobabe]

God.

These conferences seem to get more and more useless as time goes on. 

[doctormeredithshep]

I've learned to just tune them out. 

Oh, and i've been meaning to ask you if I could schedule an OB appointment.

[rebccafergusn-deactivated202112]

I think it's about time I went back to work.

[rebccafergusn-deactivated202112]

You are not a whale. And I’m probably still going to need to wear my bigger scrubs and I gave birth four months ago.

Oh really? Well don’t ask me. I thought Michael was going to be a girl. And I was wrong, but maybe a little boy?

[doctormeredithshep]

Holy crap, it's been four months?

To be fair, we all thought he was going to be a girl. Oh, I hope it has Derek's hair. 

[rebccafergusn-deactivated202112]

I think it's about time I went back to work.

[rebccafergusn-deactivated202112]

You do not look like a whale.

That’s good. You don’t have the whole Shepherd clan after the sex details.

[doctormeredithshep]

I had to buy new scrubs. I'm a whale, Cristina.

Speaking of Shepherds, i'm pretty sure we'll be able to find out the gender of fetus soon enough. Take your pick, boy or girl?

[maia-kensington]

Oh look, no crut-

[maia-kensington]

Oh yeah, pssh, I’m totally fine. Just…tripping on my stiff leg. 

[doctormeredithshep]

It takes time, Kristen. You'll get the hang of it.

[rebccafergusn-deactivated202112]

I think it's about time I went back to work.

[rebccafergusn-deactivated202112]

And she put you in the big poofy dress.

Maybe she will. But I doubt it.

[doctormeredithshep]

Don't mention the big, poofy dress. That made me look more like a whale than I do now.

Who knows. At least the wolves don't have my number. 

[maia-kensington]

Oh look, no crut-

Crap.

[doctormeredithshep]

Are you okay?

[rebccafergusn-deactivated202112]

I think it's about time I went back to work.

[rebccafergusn-deactivated202112]

  Huh, she is like Izzie. Remember that time she planned your wedding?

I’m still not able to drink tequila and it’s starting to become a problem. Then I can’t help you. Good luck with your mother in law.

[doctormeredithshep]

Oh god. She used her cancer eyes to get me to try on dresses. It was awful. 

Trust me, I know. I can't even have coffee. Maybe if I just ignore her calls she'll go away. Who knows.

Text ✉ Alex & Meredith

Alex: Ha ha.

Alex: Uh, well, I'm a little surprised you would trust me with your kid.

Alex: Oh God, Jo and me, that can only end badly.

Alex: Well duh, nobody ever picked me as a godparent before. Make sure I'll get to be one.

Mer: You're great with kids. You're the PEDs guy.

Mer: Derek chose Jo. Not my decision. I wanted Cristina, which probably would end equally as badly, but still.

Mer: Fine, fine.

[doctormeredithshep]

Text ✉ Alex & Meredith

Alex: Me? Are you serious?

Alex: And who's my future co-parent if you two croak?

Alex: I'd say two miscarriages is enough for a lifetime. If Yang can have a kid, so can you.

Mer: Whoops, wrong number.

Mer: Kidding. Of course it's you.

Mer: Jo. Derek wanted her.

Mer: You're just saying that because you want a god child.

[doctormeredithshep]

Text ✉ Alex & Meredith

Mer: Guess what?

Mer: Derek and I each chose a godparent for the fetus, and I chose you.

Mer: If it lives that long. Who knows. I have horrible luck.

[docderekshepherd]

I can officially tie shoe laces.

[docderekshepherd]

You’re okay with it?

Yeah.  I’m happy to do it.

[doctormeredithshep]

Yeah, I mean, you get to choose a godparent and I get to choose a godparent. It's equal.

Speaking of the fetus, we should probably set up an appointment with Addison. I'm pretty sure we'll be able to tell the gender soon, or at least see the thing. If it's still alive, that is.

[patrickdempesy]

[docderekshepherd]

I can officially tie shoe laces.

[docderekshepherd]

She’s my friend.  Did I tell you she asked me to walk her down the aisle?

I know, I know.  

[doctormeredithshep]

Fine, I guess it can be her and Alex. Really? I'm Alex's best man, er woman I guess.
